Comb jellies, as their name suggests, are marine animals that look like jelly blobs, reminiscent of a stingless jellyfish (but comb jellies move by means of tiny hairs called cilia). In the evolutionary worldview, they are in a race to diverge as quickly as possible from the presumed common ancestor of all animals (including humans!) \u2014 but a new study shows that comb jellies are more complex than previously thought.<\/p>\n

In the evolutionary worldview, life is believed to have begun very simply, with complexities evolving over many millions of years (comb jellies are generally thought to be 550 million years old). But this \u201csimple-to-complex\u201d idea envisioned by Darwin is not supported by evidence \u2013 scientists continue to discover that even so-called \u201csimple\u201d organisms are much more complex than previously thought.<\/p>\n

For example<\/a>Advanced 3D reconstruction of the aboral organ (an organ that senses gravity, pressure and light) in a comb jelly<\/p>\n

Reveals far greater structural and functional complexity than scientists previously recognized. The results suggest that a simple brain-like system may have existed in some early animals, providing new insight into how nervous systems evolved.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

How complex is this organ?<\/p>\n

The analysis revealed 17 different cell types within the aboral organ, including 11 secretory and ciliated cell types that had never been identified before. This wide diversity of cells confirms that the AO (aboral organ) functions as a sophisticated multimodal sensory organ.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Eleven new cell types have never been identified before!<\/p>\n

And it’s not just complicated. As one study author said, “I was struck almost immediately by the morphological diversity of the aboral organ cells…. There is a remarkable complexity in AO when compared to the apical organs of cnidarians and bilaterians. This is very unique!<\/em>” (emphasis added)<\/p>\n

Of course, whenever something unique happens, evolutionists wonder where it came from and are usually forced to reach the same conclusion as these study authors, “This difference suggests that the aboral organ may not be the direct equivalent of the brain found in other animal groups.’ In other words… Development<\/span> The centralized nervous system seems to have been invented more than once.”<\/p>\n

Apparently blind, random chance is so good at “inventing” things that it created centralized nervous systems several times over! this is absurd. The list of features that have reportedly evolved not just once or twice but multiple times is getting longer.
